I Made a Makita Maktrak Toolbox FOR JUST £30 BUDGET!

[@wuzbomb]

I'm not a tradey, more home DIY and give it a go type, but this channel is constantly giving me huge inspiration to get my home tool bag in order!

[@tomrowbotham1365]

I hate how much he makes me want to spend money on tools on the average video, I've done two lots of shadow foam for my draws and 100% worth it like. I tried the cheaper foam for my batteries and it is genuinely terrible, I hate to be the guy that bought into the scheme but the shadow foam seems to be holding up far better than what I thought it would. Buy cheap buy twice I guess. Sorry Jono. ❤

[@Imshrekstwinbro]

And me. I'm already measuring up for some inserts for my toolbox and debating redoing the foam in my Dewalt box

[@billybike57]

I really like to see boxes like these repurposed!

[@ShadowFoam]

So do I! There’s still life in them yet! 👍

[@Imshrekstwinbro]

Absolutely awesome bit of recycling. Definitely going to have to get some foam for my dewalt case and re organise it.

[@peterclarke3300]

That’s the best way of recycling 👏👏👍👍

[@robinlindholm410]

Thats a superb idea and a smart reuse of an old product!

[@ShadowFoam]

Thanks mate, appreciate that! Always happy to recycle on this channel!

[@RoyWCanada]

Hi Johnathon, what a neat find. Nice to see how to reuse the box. That was a great layout to get all the tools in and still close.

[@three-phase562]

Nice bit of upcycling, not seen a Makita box like that one before, must be years old!

[@horaz86nope24]

Great vid as always, I love the Idea of saving old boxes, that otherwise would go to waste

[@admspk]

Great idea to use an old case that would normally end up in the trash. But I still like my toughbuilt stacktech system so far

[@fredjacques2979]

Nice conversion there. And saving money too

[@ShadowFoam]

That’s what I like to do! Save a bit of cash 😅

[@joshosborn35]

Nice video, mate. I think you can get a lot more in that pack in the video I saw there was a bit of space in the pack. You could add more space like more batteries or maybe some drill bits something small to fit the gap.

[@ShadowFoam]

Completely agree with you mate! 👍

[@paulsiddall9914]

I have quite a few Bosch power tools each of which has a box so watching this made me think about adapting each of those boxes and having al the tools together in one large Milwaukee MN18 box or similar

[@ChrisCorbettFPV]

Love converting boxes with moulded inserts to custom storage with shadow foam

[@darrenrobson2486]

Makita is my brand, so a wicked video for me! Wicked effort on the Makita 'suitcase'.

[@acrippledhamster]

I don’t know if you’ve already done this but I’d love to see a van vault shadowfoamed up

[@chrisheald6897]

You really packed a lot in there! Nice one.

[@ShadowFoam]

Thanks Chris, appreciate that!

[@66meikou]

Sweet pickup on that old box and a nice job. I hate blow moulded cases, they're just too big and cumbersome. Perhaps you should expand your offers and team up with a company to offer your own boxes complete with your foam inserts?

[@GaryLeishman]

Nice one. Win, win, win all round.

[@stephenbatterbee2065]

That's impressive 😁 another good video. That would be great as a starter box for an apprentice. With the foam it can be changed as and when new tools get added.

[@007bondport]

Love Friday nights with shadow foam videos and a nice cold beer , just about to transfer everything from my old Stanley tool trolley to my nice new Milwaukee trolley , then decide how much shadow foam I’m going to need , what size thickness shall I go for the bottom box and should I put the power tools in this one ohh the excitement , going to go back and watch your Milwaukee videos ❤

[@VDUBGUYDHCM]

Man that's awesome

[@DeadloxgamingLTD]

Keep up the good work

[@ShadowFoam]

Thanks, will do!

[@patbird9694]

My Makita jigsaw is made in the UK. So I assume that all of the tools are too and the box was manufactured in china. Would be nice to do a Makita livestream after you have finished doing your drawers. See you Monday Jona and team.

[@64gorrilla]

Derwent plastics near York used to make a lot of makita boxes so maybe it come from there

[@JordanTait95]

I really like the idea of using an old case and trying this but you got that foam trimmed in to fit so nice I think you’ve made that look way to easy 🤯😂😂

[@drewhodge3820]

Cracking idea.

[@ShadowFoam]

thanks mate, would you like to see me do more builds like this?

[@FreeYourMindArt]

I reckon around 1:23:55. Great job!

[@parrot340]

You need the big fatmax toolbox on wheels. I went from Lancashire to Belfast foot pasanger on boat. Its a beast. Very square to.

[@mandosdad5436]

a very good idea great job

[@colinwilson8747]

Good One!!!

[@Utoobhero]

I love it !

[@eee1011111]

i love your videos, this one was really good, thanks

[@PhilipWillsWorld]

Great job. Well done.

[@lukeryves5097]

Love the videos! I want want of the T shirts 😅

[@WeekendShedHead]

Great mod 💪 I made a KZbin video on jam jar storage for nuts and bolts.. now I’m thinking of making a storage device for jam jars with shadow foam (mounted vertically with a backing board).. have you done something similar before ? Cheers Rob

[@ShadowFoam]

a storage device for your storage device, I love it! I haven't made a wall mounted foam display for jars necessarily, but i have done a number of tool walls and french cleat walls on my channel

[@WeekendShedHead]

@@ShadowFoamgreat.. I’ll order some and give it a go., I get some foam about 60mm ish , cheers Rob

[@nick-cn9up]

Big fan of your products. I've got a metabo metabox 185 XL are you able to provide foam for this product?

[@sathos]

Nice work mate

[@michaelfairchild]

Makita still makes some tools in UK. Even I own a Makita random orbital sander made in UK. Makita also have loads other factories around the world and not only China. I would think next to Chinese factory, their other biggest are one in Romania and Japan. Add, Brazil, USA, Thailand and saw someone got one made in Germany.

[@johnvickers1981]

That looks great I wonder if you can you still buy those cases

[@nicholasviney5975]

came out great

[@ShadowFoam]

Thanks Nicholas, I’m very pleased with it!

[@richardnelson7929]

Good effort!

[@stuartsear4474]

I wonder if that would work in an old suitcase on wheels that's a challenge I would like to see you try.

[@MrBigMalT]

You could even do the same with a turquoise hard shell suitcase! (But wouldn’t look as professional rolling up on a job with it 😂)

[@bugulugs5135]

Loved the video! Just one observation when you were using the multi-tool you didn't wear safety glasses, believe me you don't want plastic in your eye its not nice. I noticed that there was quite a large pile of scrap pieces from all the cut outs and I was wondering what happens to them all, do they get recycled, apologies if you have answered this in a previous video. Loved the budget Case especially as you can fit so many tools in it.

[@ShadowFoam]

Yes good catch! I’ll wear them in future! All off-cuts are baled and recycled at a local recycling facility

[@davehails9799]

Really enjoy the channel and the videos. I keep looking for the details of those Cobalt drills but can't find them online. Do they have a website?

[@ShadowFoam]

Available at www.drillallsales.com/

[@mrbluesky2050]

I'da put a 4mm / 6mm ply base in that.. and glued the Shadow Foam inserts in too. and where's the mains charger?

[@AlanHorsburgh-y6o]

Nice job

[@1MartinWaite]

I wouldn’t mind winning that Makita box complete with all the tools in it lol. 😂 😂😂😂

[@rgrkb]

I may have been way off, still a fantastic use of an outdated combo box

[@tomrowbotham1365]

This is awesome our lass might me get this Vs the maktrak 😂😂

[@tomrowbotham1365]

Ps I hate how organised it looks Vs mine 😂😂

[@tomrowbotham1365]

PPS what the case called?

[@darrenmccullagh2821]

Good stuff

[@ShadowFoam]

Thanks Darren! 💪

[@BleepinScotland]

Nice bit of up cycling..

[@shaneparton1143]

That’s suck a good idea I would like to see you do more

[@angu31a]

Nice to have the batteries, but a charger would be good too.

[@ShadowFoam]

Agreed! Maybe next time!

[@neil_bird]

Catching up late tonight. Hang on, that loaded case will be pretty heavy will the handle and wheels take the weight??

[@neil_bird]

Ending comment made me chuckle 😂 “give you some beauty shots” 😂

[@bobx2387]

Hey Jona, That really makes god use of a pretty naff box. They will double in price now... Bob (Weston super Mare)

[@moo7137]

Jona I can not believe that you didn't cut a slot for a tape measure 😂😂😂😂😂

[@LovelyFish-wg1dq]

BarGin mate

[@mattdarlingtonphotos]

Charger?

[@johnr8676]

Another trip to the U.S. then to get one?

[@ShadowFoam]

Maybe 👀

[@malcolmmacdougall4130]

You got a link to the Germany video

[@ShadowFoam]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX7YnKiehKygo9ksi=OEpARQZ8iYi6H-Pn

[@unmotardalondres9211]

6 hours and 33 minutes with a pub lunch break in the middle

[@ShadowFoam]

Haha that’s where I’m going wrong

[@markduggan3451]

Looks like a suitcase.

[@peterpurcell6830]

I would say 3 hours to cut in.

[@UliMuliko]

Nicee

[@ElectroAtletico]

The rolling box is very nice, but......in America owning Makita is a sure guarantee that your tools WILL NOT be stolen.

[@ShadowFoam]

That sounds like a plus tbh mate! 😅

[@RobertO-er7kc]

Tool Suitcase

[@RandyZimmerman-pp5wj]

Do you ship to the us please respond thanks

[@ShadowFoam]

we ship worldwide from www.shadowfoam.com

[@Gifflarrr]

Out in the UK 2026 just fyi - had a message from Makita

[@ShadowFoam]

Thanks for the info mate, that’s a long time to wait!

[@beckygold-mg9zo]

USA get the toolbox’s first like Milwaukee

[@ShadowFoam]

They do and it’s such a shame!

[@timrr7]

Makita do actually manufacture some tools in the UK.

[@ShadowFoam]

I know, I covered a few in my last Makita video, would love for them to do more though!

[@rgrkb]

36minutes to cut the tools in

[@geoffcrabtree657]

First here 🎉

[@ShadowFoam]

Congrats! What did you think of the video?

[@VidSpaztastic]

Have gotten some awsome ideas from your videos, but do you accept viewer challenges ?

[@ShadowFoam]

Always happy to take on suggestions for videos from viewers

[@watchcommander2012]

That’s a great use of a basically redundant useless tool holder

[@ShadowFoam]

Another box saved from landfill! 👍

[@ricaropie260]

needs a charger

[@jackbird6325]

41 mins?

[@AlisonPaul69]

PUKKER JOB

[@clips4you23]

Theres more then 30 pounds worth of foam 😂😂

[@jamesmullen287]

Always looking for ways to save money and storage and looks like its been nail this time. Maybe all manufactures should stop using blow moulded boxes and use the foam. Save save save.

[@barryskeates5623]

nice use of a usless box

[@chrisharrell2449]

Three hours.

[@ShadowFoam]

Could do 2 of these in that time 😅

[@deathstr0kexorn765]

25mins

[@deathstr0kexorn765]

Disappointed in ya! What you do stop and go for an hour long shi7? 😂

[@Lewis-ox6mu]

24 mins

[@richh6790]

32 minutes...?

[@richh6790]

Just a little bit out 😂

[@ShadowFoam]

Not by much mate 😅

[@davidpitfield2796]

...and any theif can just pick up the handle and wheel it away with all those lovely Makita tools enclosed!!

[@2009sexyboi]

It’s not £30 tho…. Foam costs a fortune
